I owned one of theses a few years back, great car. Later found out they're the most reliable car in their class (large GT), and I can vouch for that. Main problem seems to be that they throw up dashboard warnings unless the battery is in tip top condition, so if you use it for weekends etc, invest in a CTEK battery conditioner or similar. Ps, if you remove the engine cover, it looks much better. There's two shiny intercoolers with 'Supercharged' stamped on them ☺️👍🏻

I have one as my daily, had it for 4 years. Its the most outstanding and reliable car I have had. What a lovely car. Although you did miss out its party trick. In sports mode the exhaust automatically rev matches on the down change. Wish you had shown that. Great video brother🤗

Actually really feel that Jaguar does some of the best transmission tuning of the ZF boxes. My moms previous gen XK 4.0 with the 5 Speed ZF shifted very fast for a vehicle of its age. Great response too.

@h7pubg 2 года назад

why did she sell it?

@48sydney 4 года назад

The previous XKR with wooden dashboard was better in my opinion. Very understated. Not sure about the exhaust sound, sounds like bottom end rumble, did you check the oil ?

@Jahmed5635 4 года назад

Fantastic motor, many moons ago my old maths teacher had one. Absolutely spot on, think he paid 20k cash for it at the time

@Jahmed5635 4 года назад

After 2003 (new gearbox & lots of improvements) the XKR became a fantastic motor car. Look at it all day - back then it was voted the most beautiful GT in the world. Drive and never have the grin wiped off your face :-)) I've got the convertible - my dream come true ! Charly

@minixmedia2844 4 года назад

Calvin , another nice video , your cool ! What watch do you wear ?

@byronmills5952 4 года назад

This car is based on exactly the same floor pan and underpinnings as the previous shape.. which also traced its roots back to the XJS. Ford took over Jaguar back in 1990 so were involved in both variants of the Xks. With its bloodline tracing back to the Xjs its Dna is proper Jaguar. The finish might not be as slick as some rivals - but these are tough old things and arguably mechanically more robust than a similarly aged Beemer.

@peterflute 4 года назад

Byron, the car has an all-aluminium monocoque chassis and completely different construction from the previous XK8/XKR (called the X100). The 4.2 engine is the big carryover, but other than that the X150 (2006-up) XK/XKR is a very different car.

@BigDogsDangler 4 года назад

I have a 2007 XKR soft top, with just 45K on the clock. The soft top does kind of ruin the lines of the car, but I don't care. I've had the back box replaced with an Adamesh kit, and with the roof down it's addictive, especially when you down shift (it barks like a Maserati). It turns far more heads than the Porsche 911 997 I sold to buy it. Best car I have EVER owned. Sadly though, I've put it in the garage and SORN'ed it. Just no point when you can't go out!!

@tidierpenny 4 года назад

Being someone that has an older XKR, the X100 XK (the previous shape), I can say it does have a lot of Ford parts too, and isn't very well built. Lots of rattles when driving, and so many parts from Fords. They key is from a Ford, loads of switches from it, but most things inside feel nice and expensive. Looks like the interior isn't so good in that one though. Whichever one it is though, old or new, the supercharged V8 sounds incredible.

@h7pubg 2 года назад

from personal experience, having a 99 and 08 the 99 feels much more quiet and higher quality, where the 08 is loud and a little cheaper feeling, but does better in reliability, and by that i mean less little quirks. the only cheapish aspect of the xk8 interior is the stereo and climate buttons but those have warmed up to me, I assume the ride quality is down to steel vs aluminum because the 08 is a bit faster and sportier, the 99 is smoother and quieter but a little slower acceleration

@dazuk1969 4 года назад

@knightsofengland1 3 года назад

Just thought I would say I am the current owner of this car. Since buying it’s had a fare bit of work done. The phone now works the side and rear window are tinted. The car now has a private plate. The electrical issues it had have all been corrected. Wheels have all been refurbished. Work still to do - headliner replacement, steering rack refurbishment and rear track rods and 4 wheel align. Been very pleased with this high mileage cat. Wave if you see the car around W25JCW

@RonWandersOff 2 года назад

Just thought I’d say that I am the NEW owner of this car (well picking it up in a few days). Appreciate the work being done! All that work regarding headliner, steering rack refurbishment etc is still to be done, hoping to share some of the progress once done. Couldn’t get the Bluetooth working on the phone (won’t see new devices) but I think that might be a Bluetooth module issue.
